A Better Place To Park

Today (Saturday) Rainy and I went back to Matt's house to fetch the pop up and take it to the storage place. We were both concerned that if we try and move it out of the yard the same way we brought it in we would cause even more damage to the electrical connector. So when we got there I had this great idea. I would disconnect the bracket that holds the connector, tape it safely up under the van temporarily, back the camper out onto the street, reconnect the bracket, hook up and be on our way.

Easier said than done. I had to lay on my back reach underneath the van, behind the hitch to unscrew the bracket. As I was finishing up, and wiping sweat from my brow, Matt comes out and says, "My truck has a higher clearance, why don't we hook it up to my truck and I back it out to the street?" Great idea. Where was this suggestion 30 minutes ago before I scratched up my knuckles and almost died of heat prostration.

So that's what we did. I got back down and re-attached the bracket, Matt hooked to the camper and backed it into the street, we hooked up the van to the camper and pulled it to the storage facility.

Until tomorrow....
